February 12th 2021 – 3:45PM – Not Recording The (Former) Johnson Residence – Dundalk, Maryland “I’m here now.” I tell Joe as I pull over along the street in front of my childhood home. I put the car in park and turn the ignition off, waiting for him to say something – anything at all before I get out and go inside. There’s a part…
Carnage
The Home of the Carnage Wrestling LegacyOnce upon a time, I wanted children. I wanted them badly. The thought of going the rest of my life without having someone to carry on the family name devastated me. As the years wore on, however, bit by bit I realized that maybe I’m just not cut out to be a mother. That thought runs through my mind even more now, sitting here in…
January 21st 2021 – 4:17PM – Not Recording The Johnson Residence – Baltimore, Maryland “Adina! Your dad will be here in a few minutes, make sure you’re ready!” I yell down the hall as I grab a shirt, folding it as I stuff it into my overnight bag. Adina’s heading off with JD, and I’m headed over to Ken’s after she leaves. “I’m ready!” She…
Inside the confines of Sinai Hospital, Ken Davison sits alone in room 473. It’s your standard hospital room with the tray table with the fake wood top, gray shelving, wooden door to a small closet that nobody ever uses. The most aggravating feature, at least for Ken Davison, is the chair normally reserved for visitors. That was the problem, he couldn’t have visitors. Due to…
December 20th 2020 – 9:02PM – Not Recording The Carnage Arena – Baltimore, Maryland “Oh shit, the box-“ Maggie says, her eyes lighting up as she slides from the ring. I was wondering what in the world she brought a small box to the ring for when we were here to fight an exhibition match.. But it wasn’t really my place to ask. She grabs…
Christmas break was exactly what Ken Davison needed to get his head on straight. Still, there were things he needed to take care of to be able to move on from Ultimate Carnage 6. There were things that he needed to address that he wasn’t able to a month ago. He wasn’t in the right headspace to deal with them. At this moment he is…
ML – 2021.001 “Apart, Together” Magdalena Marie Lockheart was where she had always been since returning from the hospital months ago. The old, decrepit farmhouse that she once visited somehow became a place to call her own. To her, this place didn’t feel like it was hers. It was hardly familiar. Even as she rested on the bed in the first-floor study; it still…
January 2nd, 2021 – 1:24PM – Not Recording – The Springfield Hospital Complex in Sykesville, Maryland “God, if this place isn’t in the middle of bumfuck nowhere…” I mutter to myself, looking up at the entrance to the Springfield Psychiatric hospital here in lovely Sykesville, Maryland. Hell, I’d never even remembered Sykesville existed before I got that phone call almost two months ago, yet…
Ken Davison could not sleep well in strange houses. Throughout his childhood and adolescence, his mother had dragged him from one end of the country to the other, staying nowhere longer than a month or two. So many terrible things had happened to him in so many terrible places that Ken had eventually learned to view each new house not as a new beginning, not…
Garden State Parkway Northbound, Milemarker 134.7, Thanksgiving Day, 8:17 AM. Ken Davison is flying up the highway at about 90 miles an hour. Despite the posted limit of 55, the State Troopers will normally leave you alone as long as you aren’t weaving in and out of traffic. Ken has his phone clipped to his dash, allowing him to talk hands-free while he’s driving. ‘’I’m…
